Crossword Genius

Nut found in Cape Canaveral (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pecan

'nut' is the definition.
(pecan is a kind of nut)

'in cape canaveral' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'PECAN' is hidden within 'cape canaveral'.

'found' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for pecan that I've seen before include "Nut tree of the southern United States and Mexico" , "Something like a walnut" , "Type of nut" , "US nut tree" , "of nuts" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
