Jam; protect something (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

conserve

(Other definitions for conserve that I've seen before include "Converse about jam." , "Store carefully; jam" , "Keep - jam" , "Use cautiously and frugally" , "Save - jam with whole pieces of fruit" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
