Fruit found in old stove (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

orange

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

'old stove' is the wordplay.
'old' becomes 'o' (common abbreviation eg in OE for Old English).
'stove' becomes 'range' (synonyms).
'o'+'range'='ORANGE'

'found in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for orange that I've seen before include "Princely house" , "Unrhymable word?" , "tree" , "stocking filler" , "African flower" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
