Satsuma a must <<<

could be satsuma - backwards it reads a must as (although not too sure how the last as fits into the clue)

[Midge311]

thank you, now stuck with View from the flats 7, starting with 's'!

[Quizmonkey]

something that's essential / when = a must / as

Must have been a down clue too as the word 'raising' is used.
