Fruity little things peeled tennis gear off (10)
I believe the answer is:
tangerines
'fruity little things peeled' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'tennis gear off' is the wordplay.
'off' is an anagram indicator.
'tennis'+'gear'='tennisgear'
'tennisgear' with letters rearranged gives 'TANGERINES'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tangerines that I've seen before include "Citrus fruits" , "Natives of Tangiers" , "fruit" .)
