Present oneself with a soft fruit (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

appear

'present oneself' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'with a soft fruit' is the wordplay.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'soft' becomes 'p' (musical abbreviation for 'piano').
'fruit' becomes 'pear' (pear is a kind of fruit).
'a' next to 'p' is 'ap'.
'ap'+'pear'='APPEAR'

(Other definitions for appear that I've seen before include "Seem or materialise" , "Become visable" , "Show up, become visible" , "Arrive" , "hove in sight" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
