I also had the bright idea at the time to make an Instructable about it. my conclusion is that Jim Beam is a suitable replacement for Jameson in pie making (and pie making only), and walnuts yield an equally delicious, though quite different pie as well. specifically, to date, I have tried Jameson/pecan, Jameson/walnut, Jim beam/pecan, and seagram's 7/peanut. And so, I decided to try a few different nut/ whiskey options. off I went to the store, to buy my expensive nuts and whiskey, and the cheapskate in me said, I wonder if there is a cheaper but equally delicious option. So come last Thanksgiving, I had the urge to make my 'famous' pie, but no recipe and no pecans (and my Jameson had somehow disappeared too.). Unfortunately, I somehow managed to refine this recipe over the course of a couple months without ever writing down but one copy. So evolution 2 was too cook down the filling, in order to stiffen it up, along with a couple slight modifications to proportions. Fast forward a year, and it is once again pie making time (as Thanksgiving is known around here) and I realized that almost every single homemade pecan pie I have ever had was very runny, whereas most pies that come from the store are solid (though far less tasty). We added 1/4 cup of Jameson to the standard pecan pie recipe, along with some honey, and made the best pecan pie we'd ever had. So, as we sat there with pie recipes in one hand, and a bottle of Jameson in the other (figuratively speaking of course), inspiration struck. I of course decided to make one for Thanksgiving, and added that to the long list of pies we always make. It all started a couple years ago, when my friend gave me a secret recipe for a Jameson whiskey cake.
