Balzac, in Innisfail, found some raspberry drupes (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

acini

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'raspberry drupes' is the definition.
'acini' can be an answer for 'drupes' (acinus is a kind of drupe). I'm unsure of the 'raspberry' bit.

'balzac in innisfail found some' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'ACINI' is hidden in the letters of 'balzac in innisfail found'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for acini that I've seen is " pips".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
