In a small saucepan, combine dried plums, water and 2 tablespoons sugar.

Drain plums, reserving fruit and liquid; and measure liquid, adding enough water to yield 1/2 cup.

In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

Add to creamed mixture alternately with cooking liquid; fold in cooled dried plums (batter will be thick).
Step 8
Transfer batter to a greased 8x4-in. loaf pan.
Step 9
Sprinkle with coarse sugar.

Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out with moist crumbs, 40-45 minutes.
