Cooker of fruit, missing ring (5)

I believe the answer is:

range

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

This might be a double definition.

'cooker of fruit' is the first definition.
'range' can be an answer for 'cooker' (I've seen this before). I am not certain of the 'of fruit' bit.

'missing ring' is the second definition.
'range' can be an answer for 'ring' (thesaurus). I am unsure of the 'missing' bit.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for range that I've seen before include "Sierra" , "Kitchen gadget" , "Chain of mountains" , "Place to practise driving" , "Extent - shooting area" .)
