- 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, sliced
- 1 medium yellow onion, sliced into rings
Directions
Step 1
Cut the ring bologna into bite-sized pieces (about 1-2 inches long) and set aside.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the white vinegar, water, granulated sugar, and salt. Stir until the sugar and salt dissolve.
Step 3
Add black peppercorns, mustard seeds, crushed red pepper flakes, and sliced garlic cloves to the saucepan. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat.

Once boiling, reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes to infuse the flavors.
Step 5
In a large glass jar or container with a tight-fitting lid, layer the bologna pieces and sliced onion rings.
Step 6
Carefully pour the hot pickling liquid over the bologna and onions, ensuring everything is fully submerged. Use a clean utensil to gently push down the contents if needed.
Step 7
Allow the mixture to cool slightly to room temperature before sealing the jar tightly with the lid.
Step 8
Refrigerate the pickled ring bologna for at least 48 hours to allow the flavors to develop. For best results, let it sit for up to 5 days before serving.
Step 9
Serve cold as a snack, appetizer, or part of a charcuterie board. Enjoy!
