The woman calls round for the fruit (8)
I believe the answer is:
cherries
'fruit' is the definition.
(type of fruit)
'the woman calls round' is the wordplay.
'the woman' becomes 'her' ('her' refers to a woman).
'calls' becomes 'cries' ('cry' can be a synonym of 'call').
'round' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'her' placed into 'cries' is 'CHERRIES'.
'for the' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for cherries that I've seen before include "Red fruit" , "Sir, cheer up the fruits" , "Sir, cheer up, they're fruit" , "Small red fruits" , "The fruits are in rich Erse, strangely" .)
