Instructions
Trim the ends from the cucumber.

Bring the lemongrass, sugar, and a scant 1 cup of water to a boil in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Boil for 1 minute.
Remove from the heat and stir in the cucumber.
Discard the lemongrass. Quarter and core the pears, and slice into thin wedges.
Transfer to a serving bowl and add the green and red grapes, cucumber, and syrup. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill.
Sprinkle with the mint leaves and serve chilled.
