1-3/4 cups chicken broth
1/3 cup raisins (adjust to taste; I usually go for more like a half cup)
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 cup couscous

In small saucepan, combine chicken broth, butter, raisins, cinnamon, and nutmeg.  Boil 2 minutes over high heat.  Stir in couscous, cover, and remove from heat.  Let stand five minutes, fluff with fork, and serve immediately.
