Present oneself with a soft fruit (6)
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" .)
