Sat curd to be blended for sauce (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

custard

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

'sat curd to be blended' is the wordplay.
'to be blended' indicates an anagram.
'sat'+'curd'='satcurd'
'satcurd' is an anagram of 'CUSTARD'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for custard that I've seen before include "Dessert sauce" , "Pudding accompaniment" , "Type of apple" , "Yellow sauce" , "-- Pie; -- apple" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
