Possible?

The iPod Touch would've had to have been on the iOS5.0.1 firmware with the SHSH blobs saved with Cydia. If that is the case, you can use redsn0w as follows:
1) Download the firmware http://www.getios.com/
2) Put your device into regular DFU mode by Holding down the Power and Home buttons while the device is connected to power for 10 seconds, then let go of the Power Button and hold for about 10 seconds. The screen should be black. Leave it connected and move on to step 3 (If you accidentally end up in recovery mode, hold down the home and power buttons until the Apple logo shows up, No data is lost!)
3) Stitch the SHSH blobs onto the firmware. Redsn0w (http://blog.iphone-dev.org/ scroll down to the second post) will do this for you.
4) Put your iDevice into Pwned DFU mode using redsn0w
5) Use iTunes and Restore.
