Crust: In large bowl, combine dry ingredients. Mix well. In smaller bowl combine wet ingredients. Carefully add wet to dry ingredients without over-mixing. Press firmly into sides and bottom of a 9 or 10 inch pie plate. Bake in 350 oven for 9 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool before filling.

Filling: In saucepan, place millet, water and salt. Bring to boil, cover and simmer for about 45 minutes, until water is absorbed and millet is soft. Meanwhile, in blender or food processor, add all remaining filling ingredients. Puree for about 1 minutes, until perfectly smooth. Scrape down sides if necessary. When cooked millet is still warm, add it to blender mixture. Process for about 1 minute, until creamy and smooth. You may have to stop blender and push mixture down with a rubber spatula and stir to blend. Pour into cooked pie shell. Chill.

Topping: Arrange fruit over filling and serve, or prepare a glaze as follows: Add almond extract to melted jelly. Brush fruit with melted jelly. Chill.
