Pork, Leg of 

A leg of pork must lie in salt six or seven days; after which put it to the pot to be boiled, without using any means to freshen it. It requires much water to swim in over the fire, and also to be fully boiled; so that care should be taken, that the fire does not slacken while it is dressing. Serve it up with a pease pudding, melted butter, Durham mustard, buttered turnips, carrots or greens. 

N.B. The other joints of the swine are most commonly roasted.

To Boil Pickled Pork

Wash the pork, and scrape it clean. Put it in while the water is cold, and boil it till the rind be tender. It is to be served up always with boiled greens, and is most commonly itself a sauce to boiled fowls or veal.
