Jelly mishap (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

smear

(Other definitions for smear that I've seen before include "Greasy or sticky mark" , "material for examination that is on the slide" , "Smother" , "Slur - may be studied microscopically" , "Slanderous denigration of character" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
