Troublesome child in predicament? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pickle

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'troublesome child' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'predicament?' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for pickle that I've seen before include "Chutney, relish, salsa etc" , "A preserve or an informal predicament" , "Preserve in brine or vinegar" , "tricky spot" , "Steep - predicament" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
