Pickled Bologna

[SilverSage]

This is my mother-in-law's recipe. It's a real Michigan thing. You can find it in the convenience stores and gas stations around the State in big glass crocks.

1 lb Ring Bologna
2 tsp Pickling Spice
1 tsp Crushed Red Pepper
12 Bay Leaves
1 tsp Salt
2 cloves Garlic
4 cup White Vinegar
2 cup Water

Place the ring bologna in a glass jar or container with a tight fitting lid.
Add all the spices & seasonings.
Pour water & vinegar into container, making sure the meat is completely covered.
Refrigerate for at least 3-4 days.
Slice off chunks, and store the remainder in the refrigerator, in the brine.

Yep, it's in Ohio too.
In the cold cuts section of the grocery stores. It's in jars too.

Can you find Boar's Head meats in your grocery store deli? They make a good ring bologna.

I made your photo huge, and it's a little scary, LOL!

I would love this, too. My store carries Boar's Head, but I have not seen ring bologna. I will ask them.

Seems to me that I've made pickled bologna before, but I cut it into chunks before putting it in the brine.

You can cut it first - it doesn't matter. I've just always done it whole, then cut as needed.

That is identical to the one I found and will give it a try once I can get out to a shop. Thanks!

Where I grew up the taverns had pickled eggs, pigs feet, and turkey gizzards. The gizzards were more of a Minnesota thing as there were so many Turkey farms around Winona.

I was gifted this yesterday. It’s been opened so it’s taking a lot of room in the refrigerator. I’ll try some tonight with a beer and if not good….
