Leg of Pork, Good as Goose.

Parboil a leg of pork and take off the skin. Make a stuffing as follows: Mince two onions very fine; mix with them one chopped apple, one cup raisins, five ounces of bread crumbs, half a dozen chopped sage leaves, an ounce of butter, pepper and salt, with a little chopped chili peppers. Bind the mixture together with one egg, beaten; make a slit in the knuckle, put the stuffing inside it and fasten securely. Rub it over with flour, pepper and salt. Put the pork into the oven and baste liberally. Bake two and a half hours. Sprinkle over it a savory powder made of two tablespoonfuls of fine bread crumbs mixed with one tablespoonful of powdered sage and 6 little pepper and salt. Do not baste the meat after the powder is sprinkled over It. Put it Into a moderate oven half an hour. Serve with brown gravy and apple sauce.
