Michael Jackson's Sweet Potato Pie

Place the sweet potatoes and juice into the bowl of a kitchen aid mixer, mix together. In another bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar, and then add the butter, salt, milk, vanilla, and spices. Blend egg mixture and mashed Sweet potatoes and juice mixture, mix until fully combined. Pour the filling into the unbaked pie crust and garnish with the pecan halves. Bake 10 minutes in a preheated 400 degree oven then reduce oven temperature to 375 and bake for another 40 minutes. If the edges of the pie start to get too dark brown, then cover with small strips of aluminum foil. Serve warm, room temp or cold from the fridge with some whipped topping.
