Nougat confection cooked with sweet wine (7)
I believe the answer is:
marsala
'sweet wine' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for marsala that I've seen before include "Wine - as alarm (anag)" , "Sweet Sicilian wine" , "Fortified Sicilian wine" , "Sicilian dessert wine" , "Sweet dessert wine" .)
