Travellers in damson jam (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nomads

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

'travellers' is the definition.
(nomad is a kind of traveller)

'damson jam' is the wordplay.
'damson' can be anagrammed to 'NOMADS'.
However, I am unsure how this is indicated.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nomads that I've seen before include "They travel all year round" , "Travellers" , "Wandering people, roaming tribes" , "They travel from place to place with no permanent home" , "They travel from place to place seeking food and pasture" .)
