Fruit and duck on kitchen stove (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

orange

'fruit' is the definition.
(orange is a kind of fruit)

'duck on kitchen stove' is the wordplay.
'duck' becomes 'o'.
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'kitchen stove' becomes 'range' ('range' can be a synonym of 'kitchen stove').
'o'+'range'='ORANGE'

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for orange that I've seen before include "soft drink?" , "Belisha beacon colour" , "Onager (anag.)" , "Between red and yellow on the spectrum" , "Type of fruit from which bergamot comes" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
