Crossword Genius

Woman has time to get ingredient (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

suet

'ingredient' is the definition.

'woman has time' is the wordplay.
'woman' becomes 'sue' (woman's name).
'has' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'sue'+'t'='SUET'

'to get' is the link.

(Other definitions for suet that I've seen before include "Hard white fat on sheep's kidneys" , "Fat used in foods" , "Hard edible fat" , "Hard fat from beef and sheep" , "Hard white cooking fat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
