Woman has time to get an ingredient (4)
I believe the answer is:
suet
'an ingredient' is the definition.
'woman has time' is the wordplay.
'woman' becomes 'sue' (woman's name).
'has' says to put letters next to each other.
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'sue'+'t'='SUET'
'to get' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for suet that I've seen before include "Hard white fat on sheep's kidneys" , "Fatty stuff used in cooking" , "Fatty tissue" , "Thin pancake" , "Edible fat used in cooking" .)
