Sausage in cold range reduced (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chorizo

'sausage' is the definition.
(type of sausage)

'cold range reduced' is the wordplay.
'cold' becomes 'c' (eg on taps).
'range' becomes 'horizon' (horizon is a kind of range).
'reduced' means to remove the last letter.
'horizon' with its last letter removed is 'horizo'.
'c'+'horizo'='CHORIZO'

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for chorizo that I've seen before include "Hot sausage" , "Spiced sausage" , "Type of sausage" , "Spicy Spanish meat product" , "Highly seasoned sausage" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
