Sweet; glue (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gum

This clue is a double definition.

'sweet' is the first definition.
(gum is a kind of sweet)

'glue' is the second definition.
(I know that glue can be written as gum)

(Other definitions for gum that I've seen before include "surrounding roots of teeth?" , "Sticky stuff - tree" , "seal" , "Adhesive - eucalyptus" , "Chewy stuff, hard to clean away" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
