Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Gather ingredients and have a 9-inch unbaked pie shell ready.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine sugar, salt, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and ground cloves. Whisk until blended.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the large eggs until pale and frothy. Gradually mix them into the spice mixture.
  4. Fold in the pumpkin puree into the sugar-spice mixture using a spatula.
  5. Gradually add the evaporated milk to the pumpkin mixture, stirring until smooth and velvety.
  6. Carefully pour the pumpkin filling into the unbaked pie shell, ensuring even distribution.
  7. Bake the pie at 425°F (220°C) for 15 minutes, then reduce to 350°F (175°C) and bake for another 40-50 minutes.
  8. Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before slicing.
