Fit to pulp pine ash (2,5)

I believe the answer is:

in shape

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

'fit' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'pulp pine ash' is the wordplay.
'pine ash' anagrams to 'IN SHAPE'.
However, I am not sure how this is indicated.

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
