      <description>* A teaspoon or two of balsamic vinegar can wake up the flavour in a bland soup, stew or sauce.
* A sprinkle of balsamic vinegar on fresh sliced strawberries or raspberries with a bit of sugar really brings out the flavour of the fruit. 
* Heat sweetens balsamic vinegar and boils out acidity. If you want to mellow the flavour, heat it.
