Jam – or pickle? (11)

I believe the answer is:

predicament

This clue is a double definition.

'jam' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'pickle?' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for predicament that I've seen before include "Difficult situation" , "Quandary" , "Dilemma" , "Difficult position" , "Spot" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
