Method

Mix the sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger and cloves in a small bowl.
Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Stir in the pumpkin and the sugar-spice mixture.
Gradually stir in the evaporated milk.
Pour into the pie shell.
Bake at 425°F for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350°F and bake 30 to 40 minutes more, until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
Cool on a wire rack for 2 hours. Serve right away or refrigerate.

Notes & tips

New-Fashioned Pumpkin Pie (also on the label): skip the sugar, and use 1 cup evaporated milk plus 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk, with 1/2 tsp cloves instead of 1/4. Same method.
Chai Spice Pumpkin Pie: add another 1/4 tsp nutmeg, 1 tsp ground cardamom, 1/2 tsp cinnamon and 1/2 tsp ground ginger.
Bourbon Pumpkin Pie: add 2 tbsp bourbon with the milk.
