Sweet stuff prepared from varied sources (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sucrose

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'sweet stuff' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'varied sources' is the wordplay.
'varied' indicates an anagram.
'sources' is an anagram of 'SUCROSE'.

'prepared from' acts as a link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sucrose that I've seen before include "Sweet substance" , "Chief component of cane or beet sugar" , "Sweetener" , "Sweet compound" , "Sweetening agent -- Croesus (anag)" .)
