Easy and delicious! Actually, it really doesn't get much easier than this... I just used a box of couscous and like others just added dried cranberries (to taste)which provide a really nice sweetness. This is great when you don't want to spend a lot of time on a side dish but want something that tastes good. - 28 Mar 2011 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
Very fast. We substituted Crazins (dehydrated cranberries)for the Cherries and everyone loved it. - 20 Apr 2001 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
This recipe was great! What a great combination of flavors. I used dried raisins that were cherry flavored, like craisins, and it turned out perfect! Most importantly, it was so easy! - 13 Jan 2003 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
