Grilled Chicken with Pinot-Plum Sauce

Serve this simply seasoned sauce at room temperature or chilled. Taste plums before using; if they aren't fully ripe, add a little sugar. Pour the remaining pinot noit with the meal; it makes a graceful, natural pairing.

2 tablespoons Brown sugar

1 tablespoon Red wine vinegar

1/8 teaspoon Salt

24 ounces Skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (4-6 oz fillets)
