You can eat it with port at some stage (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

orange

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'it with port at some stage' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'you can eat' is the wordplay.
'you can' becomes 'o' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'eat' becomes 'range' (ranging is a kind of eating).
'o'+'range'='ORANGE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for orange that I've seen before include "Belisha beacon colour" , "Unrhymable word?" , "Order colour" , "Go near (anag) - fruit" , "Royal house - fruit - colour" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
