2	Ontario pears, cored and thinly sliced
2	Ontario nectarines, pitted and thinly sliced
3	Ontario plums, pitted and thinly sliced
1/4 cup	honey	60 mL
1/4 cup	finely chopped fresh mint leaves	60 mL
12	rice paper wraps
24	large mint leaves
Coronation Grape Sauce
1/4 cup	water	60 mL
2 tbsp	cornstarch	30 mL
4 cups	Ontario Coronation grapes	1 L
1/2 cup	granulated sugar	125 mL
1/4 cup	lemon juice	60 mL
pinch	salt

Directions

Salad Rolls: Toss pears, nectarines and plums with honey and chopped mint. Soak a rice paper wrap in hot tap water for 10 seconds or until pliable; carefully transfer to a slightly damp kitchen towel. Arrange 2 mint leaves in the center of the wrap, leaving space on the sides. Top with some of the fruit mixture.

Firmly fold the bottom half of the wrap over the filling. Fold in the sides and roll up to completely enclose filling. Repeat with remaining fruit wraps. Store in the refrigerator, tightly covered with plastic wrap for up to 2 hours.

Cut in half, on an angle, before serving with Coronation Grape Sauce for dipping.

Coronation Grape Sauce: Whisk water with cornstarch and until smooth; set aside. Add grapes, sugar, lemon juice and salt to a heavy-bottomed saucepan set over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer, crushing fruit with potato masher to release its juice. Boil, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes. Stir in cornstarch mixture. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 1 to 2 minutes or until thickened.

Pass through a fine meshed-sieve; discard solids. Cool completely.
