What is the main ingredient in modern “mincemeat” pie?

Sold on Australia as fruit mince pies.

mince pies never "mincemeat" pies not even in quotation marks.

They are usually eaten around Christmas in the UK.

My Irish grandfather always had to have one at the holidays.

this question is wrong the original Christmas mince pie was savoury not sweet

My brother loved mincemeat pies at Thanksgiving. Mom would doctor the fruit with brandy and rum (my Dad's, 151 Lemonhart Jamaican Rum) my sister would make the crust, it became a family project, but no meat or suet, just the fruit mix by Nonesuch. hmmmm maybe I should start stewing the fruit now, for this year's Thanksgiving dinner dessert.

moose, The spelling varies depending on where you live. In the US, it is mincemeat as one word.

jsh, love them any time.

mincemeat as opposed to mince (space) meat....
