Mix together the sugar, cinnamon, salt, ginger and cloves in a small bowl.
Beat the two eggs in a large bowl. Stir in the pumpkin and the sugar-spice mixture.
Gradually stir in the evaporated milk.
Carefully pour the mixture into the unbaked pie shell and bake for 15 minutes at 425℉.
After 15 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 350℉. Continue baking the pie for about 40-50 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
Cool on a wire rack for about 2 hours.
Serve immediately or refrigerate. Do not freeze pumpkin pie as it will separate.
Notes
*1-3/4 tsp of pumpkin pie spice may be used substituted for the cinnamon, ginger and cloves.
