Slices; prunes (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cuts

This clue is a double definition.

'slices' is the first definition.
('cut' can be a synonym of 'slice')

'prunes' is the second definition.
(prune can mean to cut or trim)

(Other definitions for cuts that I've seen before include "Tears" , "Reductions" , "Axes" , "Severs" , "Retrenchment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
