Crossword Genius

Woman has time to get ingredient (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

suet

'ingredient' is the definition.

'woman has time' is the wordplay.
'woman' becomes 'sue' (woman's name).
'has' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'sue'+'t'='SUET'

'to get' is the link.

(Other definitions for suet that I've seen before include "Hard white fat on sheep's kidneys" , "Fat used in foods" , "Hard edible fat" , "Hard fat from beef and sheep" , "Hard white cooking fat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
