Fruit to come up again without damned storm (10)

I believe the answer is:

redcurrant

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

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

'come up again without damned storm' is the wordplay.
'come up again' becomes 'recur' (to recur is to appear or come up again).
'without' is an insertion indicator ('without' can be similar in meaning to 'outside').
'damned' becomes 'd' (this might be a standard abbreviation which I don't know about).
'storm' becomes 'rant' (both can mean to rage).
'recur' going around 'd' is 'redcur'.
'redcur'+'rant'='REDCURRANT'

'to' is the link.
