Blend almond milk with sandalwood, then stir into fruit mixture along with remaining ingredients. Pour into pie pastry, & bake at 350F about 35 minutes or until fruit is soft.
The sandalwood tinges the fruit a reddish brown without significantly altering the taste. The almond milk is a thickening agent.
