Citrus fruit found in Jerusalem once (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lemon

'citrus fruit' is the definition.
(I know that lemon is a type of citrus fruit)

'in jerusalem once' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'LEMON' can be found hidden inside 'jerusalem once'.

'found' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for lemon that I've seen before include "Tone" , "Fruit squeezed on Pancake Day?" , "Shade of yellow - fruit" , "Unhelpful answer" , "Fruit (which is proverbially "the answer")" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
