Sauce found in vessel revolting (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ketchup

'sauce' is the definition.
(ketchup is a type of sauce)

'vessel revolting' is the wordplay.
'vessel' becomes 'ketch' (ketch is a kind of vessel).
'revolting' becomes 'up' (rising up or revolting).
'ketch'+'up'='KETCHUP'

'found in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for ketchup that I've seen before include "Sauce made largely of tomatoes" , "Piquant sauce, often tomato based" , "Red sauce" , "Relish" , "Condiment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
