Seems that any curing salt will do ? Check with local meat store or butcher they should know ? Just my .02

I just cured a ham with the tender quick but curing salt should work fine for you

Thing about tender quick is other than just salt, it contains papain, a chemical found in pineapple. Its an enzymatic tenderizer that only softens the outter surface of the meat by esscentiall "digesting" or mascerating it. If you can't get a hold of any tenderizer salt, you can actually use pinaple juice (unsweetened) and it will do the same thing. Never been a big fan of tenderisers...only soften (don't actually tenderize) the very surface of the meat. A good marinade in a vaccuum container will work much better and you can flavor the meat any way you want too. It will penetrate deeper into the meat and it won't turn it to mush like tenderizing salts.

Your grocery store should be able to order it for you. I buy 5 lbs of Morton Quick Cure at a time from the local grocery chain here for making jerky.
