Spare recipe for fruit (5)
I believe the answer is:
pears
'for fruit' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'spare recipe' is the wordplay.
'recipe' indicates anagramming the letters.
'spare' with letters rearranged gives 'PEARS'.
(Other definitions for pears that I've seen before include "Juicy fruits - spare them" , "Sweet juicy fruits" , "Fruit - singer with ..." , "Fruit trees" .)
