Preserved and fixed (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cured

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'preserved' is the first definition.
(curing is a kind of preserving)

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

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for cured that I've seen before include "Healed - smoked" , "Of ham, smoked or salted" , "Preserved by drying, salting or smoking" , "Remedied" , "Restored to health" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
