Mix sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves in a small bowl.
In a large bowl, beat eggs and stir in pumpkin and sugar-spice mixture. Gradually stir in evaporated milk.
Pour pumpkin mixture into pie shell and bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes. Lower oven temperature to 350 degrees and bake for 40 to 50 minutes longer, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow pie to cool completely before serving.
