Turn up with a soft fruit (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

appear

'turn up' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'with a soft fruit' is the wordplay.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'soft' becomes 'p' (musical abbreviation for 'piano', soft).
'fruit' becomes 'pear' (pear is a kind of fruit).
'a'+'p' is 'ap'.
'ap'+'pear'='APPEAR'

(Other definitions for appear that I've seen before include "Come on the market" , "Show up like ghost" , "Develop" , "Surface" , "be published" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
