Crossword Genius

Time for fruit (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

date

I believe this is a double definition.

'time' is the first definition.
(date is a kind of time)

'fruit' is the second definition.
(date is a kind of fruit)

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for date that I've seen before include "Step out with" , "Particular time when event happened" , "To reveal age" , "Day, month and year" , "retrieved from palmtop?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Globe and Mail.
