Blacken by fire (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scorch

(Other definitions for scorch that I've seen before include "Become burnt on the surface" , "Burn; drive very fast (informal)" , "Get browned off" , "Mark by overheating" , "Burn slightly" .)

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