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

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
