Consequence of curing fatter ham (9)
I believe the answer is:
aftermath
'consequence' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'curing fatter ham' is the wordplay.
'curing' indicates anagramming the letters.
'fatter'+'ham'='fatterham'
'fatterham' is an anagram of 'AFTERMATH'.
'of' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for aftermath that I've seen before include "Outcome of being at the farm" , "Consequences of an unpleasant event" , "Frame that in following events" , "What may be the later consequences" , "Situation following as consequence or result" .)
