Pickled flower buds used in sauces (6)
I believe the answer is:
capers
'pickled flower buds used in sauces' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for capers that I've seen before include "Jumps, runs about playfully" , "Scrape (anag)" , "Escapades or pungent flower buds" , "Jumps about to get flavouring buds" , "Pranks and pickled buds" .)
