Holiday Raisin Couscous

This is part of a larger recipe for Chicken with Lime Sauce and Raisin Couscous, which originated at some point from the Food Network web site (I’ve been unable to locate any further information on it or to find the original entry, so I don’t have any proper credit beyond this).  This is only for the couscous part, which I make during the holidays.

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.
