Crossword Genius

Recommend one's red crackers (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

endorse

'recommend' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'one's red crackers' is the wordplay.
'crackers' indicates anagramming the letters (informal term for mad).
'ones'+'red'='onesred'
'onesred' with letters rearranged gives 'ENDORSE'.

(Other definitions for endorse that I've seen before include "Pass" , "Countersign" , "Approve or underwrite" , "Sore end (anag.)" , "Give backing to" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
