Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Mix the Filling: In a large bowl, beat the eggs and pumpkin together. In a separate bowl, combine the sugar, cinnamon, salt, ginger, and cloves.
Add this mixture to the pumpkin and mix well. Gradually stir in the evaporated milk until fully combined.
Assemble the Pie: Pour the pumpkin filling into the unbaked pie crust, smoothing the top.
Bake: Bake at 425°F for 15 minutes. Then, reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for 40-50 minutes, or until the filling is set (a knife inserted in the center should come out clean).
Cool and Serve: Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack. Serve with whipped cream if desired.
Enjoy this classic fall dessert that brings warmth and flavor to any gathering!
