Like little picture of jelly? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aspic

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

'like little picture' is the wordplay.
'like' becomes 'as'.
'little picture' becomes 'pic'.
'as'+'pic'='ASPIC'

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for aspic that I've seen before include "Preservative jelly" , "Ending of Marlowe's thriller" , "Glaze" , "Savoury jelly used to coat eggs etc" , "that's clear?" .)
