I didn’t put forth the effort to track down plum vinegar. I suppose plum wine would’ve done the trick, but it’s like $20 a bottle in my grocery store. I used white balsamic instead and it still turned out quite tasty. Pine nuts and chopped dried apricots would be another good combination in this recipe.
