I believe the answer is:

caper

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue could be a double definition.

'leap about' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a flavoursome bud' is the second definition.
'caper' can be an answer for 'bud' (I've seen this before). I am not certain of the 'a flavoursome' bit.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for caper that I've seen before include "Cooked and pickled flower bud" , "prickly shrub" , "Skip about for the sauce" , "Pickle ingredient" , "Frolic - bud used in cooking" .)

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