Fruit in a recent mixture (9)
I believe the answer is:
nectarine
'fruit' is the definition.
(I know that nectarine is a fruit)
'in a recent mixture' is the wordplay.
'mixture' indicates an anagram.
'in'+'a'+'recent'='inarecent'
'inarecent' anagrammed gives 'NECTARINE'.
(Other definitions for nectarine that I've seen before include "Kind of peach with thin skin and no down" , "Fruit - aren't nice (anag)" , "Trace nine to a kind of peach" , "Juicy fruit" , "type of tree" .)
