This recipe was extracted from The Cook County cook book (1912) by Associated College Women Workers, page 226. The excerpt below is the record exactly as published.

ROASTING A LEG OF LAMB.— Slice salt pork very thin, cut 2 slices down to the rind of the leg of lamb, leaving the rind uncut, to make the slices as large as possible, make as many of these slices as will cover the whole leg, then wrap the whole in grape leaves, bind on with a string, and roast. The lamb will be exceedingly juicy, and of a delicious flavor, baste with rich soup stock
