Shortening (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lard

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

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for lard that I've seen before include "Pork fat" , "Hard cooking fat" , "Pig fat used in cooking" , "Animal fat" , "F [FAT]" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press, the Newsday, the LA Times, The Star Tribune and The Sun.
