Crossword Genius

Woman with time to get ingredient (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

suet

'ingredient' is the definition.

'woman with time' is the wordplay.
'woman' becomes 'sue' (woman's name).
'with' is a charade indicator (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 fat from beef and sheep" , "Fatty tissue" , "Edible animal fat" , "Hard white cooking fat" , "Fat used in foods" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
