I couldn't find the Bon Appetit recipe but here's one that seems to have the components you're looking for:

No, not it. Uses suet, beef, liquor, and lots of different fruits to ferment in a crock for a while…then you add sliced apples to part of the mix for true mincemeat pie.
I know I got it in the 70's. We moved in the early 80's and I lost the recipe. I so want to find it again…the only mincemeat pie I ever liked!
See this one from Bon Appetit 1991. You do know about epicurious as a repository for Gourmet/Bon Apppetit recipes? http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Modern-Mince-Pie-2694

I am traveling but when I get back I will submit it if you haven't found it already.
