How to Make Hot Pickled Bologna
- Cut 1 pound of bologna into 1/2-inch thick slices.
- In a clean, sterilized 1-quart jar, add 4-6 cloves of garlic, packing them tightly around the edges.
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons yellow mustard seeds, 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes (adjust to your spice preference), and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves.
- Carefully pour the hot pickling liquid over the bologna and garlic in the jar, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace.
- Secure the lid tightly on the jar.
- Refrigerate for at least 24 hours. For best flavor, let it pickle for 2-3 days before enjoying.
