20d Delivery time of fruit that's eaten pureed, periodically (3,4).
I'm sure the answer is due date but can't parse it fully. I can see that due date is delivery time and date is a fruit but don't understand the reference to periodically?

It's date with pUrEeD inside

Periodically - the U E and D from pureed, alternate letters.

Thanks chrise and malone. I really should have seen that, as I was looking for alternate letters!

22d
Gracious king’s saving seat, lowering head (6)
I think the answer is CRUMBS.
Apart from CR = king I’m struggling to parse this one.
This is my last clue to solve.
Thanks in advance.

It's CR'S (king's) with BUM (seat) inside, with the head B lowered in a down clue.

Thank you so much.
Sometimes I feel I miss the simple things!
