Pickle skin (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scrape

This clue is a double definition.

'pickle' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'skin' is the second definition.
('scrape' can be a synonym of 'skin')

(Other definitions for scrape that I've seen before include "Rasp or abrade" , "Tricky situation - graze" , "Bow and . . . . . ., to be servile" , "Informally, an awkward situation due to rashness" , "jar" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
