     Yes, the vinegar will prevent browning (and yes, the same result could be attained using lemon- or lime juice), but a high-quality, aged balsamico enhances the flavor of many fruits, particularly the ones in this recipe. It adds a richness and depth that you simply won't get from a citrus acid. - 9/5/08

     Very good and asn easy way to get a lot of fruit in. The better the quality of Balsamic vinegar, the better this is. - 3/2/08

     Very good! The dip is a little tart though, so I mixed it with fat-free cool whip. - 6/6/07

     excellent! In the future, though, I think I'll cut the larger fruits into smaller pieces than recommended...also, this makes a LOT of dip. I could have easily cut it in 1/4ths and still had enough for my family. - 9/16/10

     Didn't actually get to grill the fruit, so I'm just commenting on the dip portion. It was very good, had a good strawberry flavor too it, and was tart but I enjoyed the tart with the sweet fruit. Not a fan of the gritty texture of ricotta and this was very gritty to me, so I didn't enjoy it much. - 6/28/10

     We've often grilled peach or nectarine halves that I've basted with agave or honey and sprinkled with ginger so this will be fun to try! I especially like the idea of the dip. - 3/9/09

     I think this is going to be a grand addition to summer bbq parties! I'm always looking for something to serve not only with the fruit but also at the end of the meal that is both tasty and sweet tooth satisfying! Can't wait to try it! (Especially with the balsamic vinigar). - 3/9/09

     What is the purpose of the vinegar? To keep the fruits from browning (turning color) or to keep the fruits basted so they won't dry out? Could lemon juice do the same thing? Sounds like a lot of work to go through when you could just dip the fresh fruits in the ricotta-strawberry mixture. - 9/5/08
