Snake one caught with jelly (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aspic

'jelly' is the definition.
(I know that aspic is a type of jelly)

'snake one caught' is the wordplay.
'snake' becomes 'asp' (asp is a kind of snake).
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'caught' becomes 'c' (cricket abbreviation).
'asp'+'i'+'c'='ASPIC'

'with' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for aspic that I've seen before include "Ending of Marlowe's thriller" , "Savoury meat or fish jelly" , "Clear savoury jelly" , "Savoury jelly for coating meat, eggs etc" , "garnish" .)
