Bourbon Nut Pie

I had a small unopened can of mixed nuts left from Christmas, and I've been wondering how they'd be in a syrup-based pie in place of the traditional pecans. So, I found a recipe, made some changes and came up with this.

I forgot to snap a picture before I cut into it! Even with peanuts in the mix, it's delicious, but I think if I try it again, I will use the "fancy" mixed nuts without peanuts.
