Star given stewed prunes and eggs (9)
I believe the answer is:
supernova
'star' is the definition.
(supernova is a kind of star)
'stewed prunes and eggs' is the wordplay.
'stewed' indicates an anagram.
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'eggs' becomes 'ova' (I've seen this before).
'prunes' anagrammed gives 'supern'.
'supern'+'ova'='SUPERNOVA'
'given' is the link.
(Other definitions for supernova that I've seen before include "it puts an end to a starry career" , "Star that explodes and becomes extremely luminous" , "Exploding star that becomes extremely luminous" , "Exploding star that becomes much brighter" , "cosmic explosion" .)
