Supple Mary cooked sweet stuff (5,5)
I believe the answer is:
maple syrup
'sweet stuff' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.
'supple mary cooked' is the wordplay.
'cooked' indicates anagramming the letters.
'supple'+'mary'='supplemary'
'supplemary' anagrammed gives 'MAPLE SYRUP'.

(Another definition for maple syrup that I've seen is " Sticky (Canadian?) foodstuff".)
