Date for fooling around on bed -- that's fruity! (7)
I believe the answer is:
apricot
'date for fooling' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'on bed that's fruity' is the wordplay.
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'bed' becomes 'cot' (cot is a kind of bed).
'that's fruity' becomes 'apri' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'cot' put after 'apri' is 'APRICOT'.
'around' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for apricot that I've seen before include "Juicy stone-fruit, orange-pink when ripe" , "A fruit-tree" , "Soft, peach-like fruit" , "Yellowish fruit like a small peach" , "Orange-yellow colour; fruit" .)
