Mincemeat was originally a conglomeration of bits of meat, dried fruit and spices, created as an alternative to smoking or drying for preservation, a variant form of sausage. Mincemeat containing actual meat has become less common over the years. The customary form today typically consists of raisins, spices, grated apple, and animal suet, though many commercial varieties use hard vegetable fat instead, making it completely vegetarian. Mincemeat may also contain currants, candied fruits, and brandy, rum or other liquor.
The mince in mincemeat traces its roots back to the Latin minutia ("something small"). The word mincemeat is an adaptation of an earlier term minced meat, simply meaning that, "meat chopped into small pieces". As an ingredient or substance, however, mincement has almost always been one word.

I truly have a recipe for mincemeat and it does contain meat. So, according to probability it initially did and then with the intention to make it in good shape, they started leaving out the beef. the beef i'm meant to function is likewise blended with suet, it is rather fatty. This replaced into my great grandmother's recipe; I truly have in no way truly made it. Too lazy -- Perkins has astonishing mincemeat pies -- lol.

I assume you are talking about mincemeat for fruit mince pies.
My theory is that it looks dark and like a meat pie and in pastry and stuff, so they called it mincemeat???

Same reason Indians say "sweetmeats" for something sweet that doesn't contain meat. The meat of the fruit?
