Couscous with Goat Cheese and Fruit Topping

This was done in a pie plate because I thought it would present well.  But it could just as easily be done in any container that you wish to use.  Most any fortified wine would work in place of the Marsala.  Or white wine.  Or apple juice.  Maybe chicken broth.  Also you could use feta or any other crumbly cheese for the goat cheese.  I planned on this to be served at room temperature since it was for a potluck, but it might be bit better if still warmed.

Cut up dried apricots and mix with enough raisins to cover the pie plate.  Melt butter in a sauce pan.  Add the dried fruit and cook over low heat until starting to brown.  Pour in a bit of Marsala to deglaze the pan.  Cook until it thickens and take the pan off the heat.  Prepare a couple of cups of couscous as per instructions.  Let cool.  Stir in a couple of ounces of crumbled goat cheese into the couscous.  Put the mixture into the pie plate and smooth.  Cover with the dried fruit.  Serve!
