Blend garlic, onion, salt, pepper, and 1 cup of cider until you achieve a homogeneous mixture. Pour over the leg, making sure to coat it completely. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight. Rub the entire leg with lard, place the pineapple slices on top, cover with aluminum foil, and bake for 5 to 6 hours. Wash and dry the leg well, then poke it all over with a large fork. Place it in a container. Blend the garlic, onion, salt, pepper, and 1 cup of cider until you achieve a homogeneous mixture. Pour over the leg, making sure to coat it completely. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight. Preheat the oven to 200 °C (400 °F). Remove the leg from the refrigerator and place it in a baking dish or tray. Reserve the marinade. Stuff the leg with almonds and raisins and inject it with the remaining cider. Rub the leg with lard, place the pineapple slices on top, and cover with aluminum foil. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight. Remove from refrigeration and bake for 5 to 6 hours. While the leg is cooking, mix the marinade with the pineapple syrup and use it to baste the leg several times while it bakes. Remove the aluminum foil during the last 30 minutes of cooking to allow the leg to brown. Let it rest for 20 minutes before slicing.
