[Sca-cooks] What does Saunders taste like?

[lilinah at earthlink.net]

Saunders, aka Red Sanders, aka Red Sandalwood (Pterocarpus
santalinus) is, in fact, NOT any kind of sandalwood, despite its
name. True Sandalwood, which i have seen called White Sandalwood and
Yellow Sandalwood (Santalum album).

I have used Red Sanders in Apple Mus - added an interesting color...
It has, i think, a very faint pleasant woody flavor/scent. But it
really doesn't affect the flavor of a dish, unless you dump mass
quantities into your dish.
