It's a British product and certainly common enough in Canadian stores,
usually found in the same aisle as the Jell-O and Instant puddings.
But like HP Sauce, perhaps not so common in the States.

There's enough anti-oxidants in normal, tasty blueberries and plums for
me....

     Title: Slivka Y Kartofelnaya Kletska - Potato-Plum Dumplings
Categories: Ukrainian, Dessert, Fruit
  Servings: 6

     12 ea Sweet plums pitted
      4 ea Potatoes
    1/2 ts Salt
     12 ea Sugar cubes
      2 ea Eggs lightly beaten
      2 tb butter softened
    1/2 c  Butter softened
      1 c  Flour plus flour as needed
    1/4 c  Farina

NOTE: Honey, 1 tb may be substituted for each sugar cube.

Scrub potatoes well but do not peel. In a saucepan combine potatoes &
water to cover then bring to a boil. Drain potatoes when  tender when
pierced with a fork. When potatoes are cool enough to handle peel them.
While still warm, press through a potato ricer into a large mixing bowl.
Allow to cool. Add salt, eggs, & 1 tb butter to potatoes then mix well.
Gradually mix in flour & farina until dough is easy to work. Add more
flour if it is too wet. Turn dough out onto a floured board and knead
well until smooth and fairly soft. With your hands form dough into a
large sausage-shaped roll. Cut roll into 12-16 pieces. Replace each pit
with a sugar cube & re-form plum. Use a floured rolling pin toroll out
each dough piece into a 3-inch square 1/4" thick. Place 1 plum in center
of each square. Bring up corners to enclose plum completely. No part of
plum must be exposed. Pinch dough edges together firmly to seal. Fill a
large pot with water & bring to a boil on high heat. Reduce heat to
med-high. Drop in dumplings but do not to crowd pan. Boil gently while
stirring occasionally. Do not boil too hard or dumplings may split open.
When dumplings rise to surface, cook until tender, 5-10 mins. cooking
time. Use a slotted spoon to very carefully remove dumplings one at a
time to a heated bowl. Cover tightly to keep warm. Repeat with remaining
dumplings. While dumplings cook melt 1/2 cup butter in a small skillet
over med-heat. Add bread crumbs & saute' while stirring until browned.
Turn out onto a flat plate. Roll dumplings in bread crumbs to coat
completely then serve immediately.
