Jelly made with a non-Eastern spice (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aspic

'jelly' is the definition.
(aspic is a kind of jelly)

'a non-eastern spice' is the wordplay.
'non' suggests deleting specific letters.
'eastern' becomes 'e'.
'spice' with 'e' removed is 'spic'.
'a'+'spic'='ASPIC'

'made with' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for aspic that I've seen before include "Savoury meat or fish jelly" , "Savoury jelly for coating meat, eggs etc" , "Stock set with food" , "Gelatin product" , "stock production" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
