That woman in good family that's often pickled (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gherkin

'often pickled' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'that woman in good family' is the wordplay.
'that woman' becomes 'her' (I've seen this before**).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'family' becomes 'kin' ('kin' can be a synonym of 'family').
'g'+'kin'='gkin'
'her' put inside 'gkin' is 'GHERKIN'.

'that's' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for gherkin that I've seen before include "Vegetable of the cucumber family" , "Type of small cucumber" , "Harmony" , "Pickled item" , "often pickled" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
