Woman has time for ingredient (4)
I believe the answer is:
suet
'ingredient' is the definition.
'woman has time' is the wordplay.
'woman' becomes 'sue' ().
'has' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'sue'+'t'='SUET'
'for' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for suet that I've seen before include "Hard animal fat used in cooking" , "Hard white cooking fat" , "Solid fat used in cooking" , "Edible fat used in cooking" , "Hard fat in cattle and sheep" .)
