I'm allergic to apricots, so I substituted them with dried cranberries. It was still delicious!

I followed the recipe exactly, but my couscous turned out mushy. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less apricots next time.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover couscous. I had some leftover from another recipe, and this was the perfect way to use it up.
