The vinegar could be reduced to a stickier state as well... They also had strawberry balsamic.

My strawberries are wee tiny green things at this point. Can't believe how far behind we are compared to you. my lettuce greens too are just starting to come to size (although frankly they've been hidden in a pile of weeds so that might have something to do with it).

That Balsamic vinegar sounds really wierd, but wierd things often do work well. That reddish, pointy, oak-leafy lettuce that you have looks exactly the same as one I have grown called "Cocarde".
