Uncrystallised sugar produced by Missouri girls (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

molasses

'uncrystallised sugar' is the definition.
(juice from sugar)

'by missouri girls' is the wordplay.
'by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'missouri' becomes 'mo' (abbreviation for the US state).
'girls' becomes 'lasses' (lass can informally mean a girl).
'mo' next to 'lasses' is 'MOLASSES'.

'produced' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for molasses that I've seen before include "Syrupy stuff" , "what refinement can bring" , "Syrup drained from raw sugar for some lass" , "Black treacle" , "Thick dark treacle" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
