1. Cut pear into 1/4- to 1/2-inch slices (about 16). Toss together pear slices and lemon-lime soft drink to prevent browning; drain. Place 1 pear slice on top of 3 arugula leaves and 1 to 2 basil leaves.

2. Cut each prosciutto slice lengthwise into 4 strips. Wrap center of each pear bundle with 1 prosciutto strip. Arrange on a serving platter, and sprinkle with pepper.

Note: To make ahead, prepare recipe as directed. Cover bites with damp paper towels, and chill 30 minutes.
