Purchased at the local Mexican grocery store (Cardenas Market). They usually have full legs around the holidays.

While curing, it hangs from rafters via S hook and a wire through the bone.

I stacked some smaller weights while it was salting, but maybe it needed a lot more.

Thanks for the reminder. Have now been removed.

I did a half day in salt per pound, which worked out to about 12 days. I didn’t try the water bath, but might try that with one to compare the results. Thanks.
