Fruit in fridges, oddly (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

figs

'fruit' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'fridges oddly' is the wordplay.
'oddly' indicates alternate letters (letters in odd-numbered positions).
The alternating letters of 'fridges' are 'FIGS'.

'in' is the link.

(Another definition for figs that I've seen is " Fruit".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
