Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Position oven rack in the center of your oven.
Prepare pie pastry.
In a large bowl, combine sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves; blend in beaten eggs at low speed of your mixer. Add pumpkin and evaporated milk; blend at high speed of your mixer until smooth.
Pour pumpkin mixture into the pastry-line pie plate. NOTE: To prevent spills, place pie plate on a wire rack or on the open oven door when filling with pumpkin mixture.
Bake 10 minutes; reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees F. and bake approximately 20 to 35 minutes longer or until the internal temperature registers approximately 175 degrees F. on your cooking thermometer.
Remember that the pie continues to cook after it is removed from the oven. Do not over bake! The center of the pie should be set but still wobbly; residual heat will finish the job.
Remove from oven and let cool on a wire cooling rack before cutting and serving.
If desired, serve with sweetened whipped cream.
Makes 8 servings.
