Lifting endless dried fruit (6)
I believe the answer is:
raisin
'dried fruit' is the definition.
(raisin is a kind of dried fruit)
'lifting endless' is the wordplay.
'lifting' becomes 'raising' ('raise' can be a synonym of 'lift').
'endless' means to remove the last letter.
'raising' with its final letter taken away is 'RAISIN'.
(Other definitions for raisin that I've seen before include "An iris (anag)" , "A dried grape, nice in cake" , "Dried grape used in cakes" , "Dried 18" , "fruit product" .)
