At first my husband wrinkled up his nose: "Doesn't vinegar belong in salad dressing?" He has a point. But balsamic vinegar is sweet rather than sour and enhances the innate sweetness of these fresh, ripe strawberries. But don't just stop at strawberries. Balsamic vinegar can be used to enhance a number of fruits including peaches, nectarines and pineapple. If you can, buy an aged balsamic vinegar.
