Item of confectionery (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sweetmeat

'item of confectionery' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for sweetmeat that I've seen before include "It may be sucked" , "Former item of confectionery" , "Food item with sugar" , "Sugary confection" , "Old item of confectionery" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
