Fruit — dish out entire can? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nectarine

'fruit' is the definition.
(I know that nectarine is a fruit)

'dish out entire can?' is the wordplay.
'dish out' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'dished out' mean this).
'entire'+'can'='entirecan'
'entirecan' anagrammed gives 'NECTARINE'.

(Other definitions for nectarine that I've seen before include "Kind of peach with thin skin and no down" , "Trace nine to a kind of peach" , "type of tree" , "Fruit - aren't nice (anag)" , "Smooth-skinned fruit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
