Sweet and Nutty Moroccan Couscous

2 - 2 1/2 cups low sodium vegetable broth (depending on how dry you like your couscous)

1/3 cup chopped dates

1/3 cup chopped dried apricots (No Sugar Added)

1/3 cup golden raisins

2 cups dry 100% Whole Wheat couscous

1 to 3 tsp ground cinnamon (as desired)
1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted


Pour the vegetable broth into a large saucepan, and bring to a boil. Add the apricots, dates and raisins. Boil for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat, and stir in the couscous. Cover, and let stand for 5 minutes. Stir in the cinnamon and toasted almonds, and serve.

*You can substitute the dried fruits for whatever is on sale, just check to make certain there are no added sugars!
