Crossword Genius

Preserve from predicament (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pickle

I believe this is a double definition.

'preserve' is the first definition.
(I know that pickle is a kind of preserve)

'predicament' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'from' is the link.

(Other definitions for pickle that I've seen before include "imp" , "Marinate" , "Preserved vegetable of informal plight" , "Preserve; muddle" , "A preserve or an informal predicament" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
