Orange-Pineapple Couscous image

This recipe appears in the "Women Who Can Dish It Out -- Junior League of Springfield, Missouri" cookbook. I have not prepared this recipe yet, but I hope to this weekend. I love couscous and the combination of pineapple, mandarin oranges and soy sauce sounds great! I may even reverse the juice from orange to pineapple.
