Fruit compound used in jam-making (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pectin

(Other definitions for pectin that I've seen before include "Carbohydrate used in making fruit jellies and jams" , "Gelling agent in jam" , "Part of fruit used in making fruit jellies and jams" , "setter's in a jam" , "Jam-setting agent" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
