In a large bowl combine, pumpkin, vanilla extract, sugars, cloves, cinnamon, ginger, salt and eggs. Mix ingredients well by hand or with electric mixer. Set pumpkin mixture aside.
In a small pot combine milk and cream, heat until almost boiling. Add to pumpkin mixture and mix thoroughly.
Next, pour pumpkin mixture evenly into two unbaked pie shells. Bake on center oven racks for about 1 hour. Pies are done when wooden toothpick inserted into center of pies comes out clean.
Cool before serving. You can serve your pumpkin pie warm or chilled. I prefer to serve mine chilled topped with whip cream.
