Peach cooked by second woman, a miser (10)
I believe the answer is:
cheapskate
'a miser' is the definition.
(cheapskate is a kind of miser)
'peach cooked by second woman' is the wordplay.
'cooked' indicates anagramming the letters (letters cooked into a new form).
'by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'second' becomes 's' (common abbreviation).
'woman' becomes 'kate' ().
'peach' is an anagram of 'cheap'.
'cheap'+'s'+'kate'='CHEAPSKATE'
(Other definitions for cheapskate that I've seen before include "Scrooge" , "Tightwad" , "Ungenerous type" , "Mean type" , "Mean person" .)
