Time a girl put away salt (7)

I believe the answer is:

tannate

'salt' is the definition.
(I know that Tannate is a type of salt)

'time a girl put away' is the wordplay.
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'a girl' becomes 'ann' (woman's name).
'put away' becomes 'ate' (put away can mean to eat).
't'+'ann'+'ate'='TANNATE'

I've seen this clue in The Times.
