tip

  Use any leftover Coronation Grape Dipping Sauce as a fruit sauce to finish a dessert or simply serve over vanilla ice cream, waffles or pancakes.

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.
