Sweep following round Peeler? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

orange

'peeler?' is the definition.
(fruit which is peeled)

'sweep following round' is the wordplay.
'sweep' becomes 'range' (both can mean extent or variety).
'following' says to put letters next to each other.
'round' becomes 'o' (round can mean a round object).
'range' after 'o' is 'ORANGE'.

(Other definitions for orange that I've seen before include "Kind of sauce" , "Round fruit (6)" , "Order colour" , "soft drink?" , "Princely house" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
