Dessert produced in the public house and by women's institute around Ring (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tapioca

'dessert' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I don't understand the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for tapioca that I've seen before include "Starchy white substance used to make puddings" , "Pudding from the cassava root" , "Hard white cassava grains used for puddings" , "course" , "Milk pudding ingredient" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times.
