Help! What Can I Do!

I decided to cook this tonight:

But I can't get hold of any sherry vinegar, what could I use instead??

    Personally I'd use sherry instead or even madeira wine

    If you have red wine vinegar I'd use that.

    Depends on your tastes. Balsamic will make it a bit sweeter (sherry vinegar def isn't as sweet as this) but regular red wine vinegar will make it a bit more acidic. It will probably taste good either way.

    Balsamic will be likely to be more expensive too though if that makes a difference to you...

    Just thought I would tell you - this was absolutely delicious!

    I ended up using red wine vinegar instead, don't know if I was supposed to or not, but it sure did taste yummy!

    And the easiest thing in the world to do - must have been, before I'd attempt to cook it! LOL
