Combine orange juice, lemon juice, sugar, orange rind, lemon rind and salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, turn down heat, simmer 5 minutes. Pour into a shallow metal pan and cool. Put in freezer and chill until a few ice crystals form around the edges.
Peel and slice peaches. Peel and cube pears. Mix these fruits with the blueberries and spoon some of the mixture into each of 6 sherbet glasses. Spoon a little of the icy orange juice mixture over each. Garnish with springs of mint and serve immediately.
