A quantity of pickled peppers picked to nibble (4)

I believe the answer is:

peck

This clue is a double definition.

'a quantity of pickled peppers picked' is the first definition.
('Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers')

'to nibble' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for peck that I've seen before include "Large number" , "Nibble" , "Strike with beak" , "Gregory" , "Light kiss; measure" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
