- 1 (15 oz / 425 g) can pumpkin purée
- 1 (12 oz / 354 ml) can evaporated milk

Method
10 steps- If using homemade pastry, roll it into a 14-inch circle. Line a 9-inch pie dish, trim and crimp the edges, then chill until needed.
- Position an oven rack in the bottom third of the oven and preheat to 400°F (200°C).
- Whisk the brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves and salt together in a large bowl.
- Add the pumpkin purée, evaporated milk and eggs. Whisk until completely smooth.
- Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust.
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15 minutes.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for approximately 40 minutes longer.
- The pie is ready when the filling is puffed around the edges but still jiggles slightly in the centre.
- Transfer the pie to a wire rack and cool completely for at least 1 hour before slicing.
- Cover and refrigerate leftovers for up to 2 days.
