Fruit found by Chinese round stove (8,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mandarin orange

'fruit' is the definition.
(I know that mandarin orange is a type of fruit)

'found by chinese round stove' is the wordplay.
'found by' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'chinese' becomes 'mandarin' (Mandarin is an example).
'round' becomes 'o' (round can mean a round object).
'stove' becomes 'range' (synonyms).
'mandarin' next to 'o' is 'mandarino'.
'mandarino'+'range'='MANDARIN ORANGE'

(Another definition for mandarin orange that I've seen is " Chinese round stove in which there's fruit".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
