Five siblings consuming case of choice fruit (7)
I believe the answer is:
quinces
'fruit' is the definition.
'five siblings consuming case of choice' is the wordplay.
'five siblings' becomes 'quins' (short for quintuplets).
'consuming' indicates putting letters inside.
'case of' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters) (outsides of).
'choice' with its middle taken out is 'ce'.
'quins' enclosing 'ce' is 'QUINCES'.
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
