Step 1

Remove skin from ring bologna. Cut ring of bologna in 1/2 inch slices cross-wise OR 2 to 4 inches long, then slice lengthwise in half. Place in a large glass jar. Add crushed red pepper and salt.

Step 2

Mix white vinegar and water (and hot sauce, if using). Pour over bologna. Shake well, place lid on jar and refrigerate. Allow to set for a minimum of a week for flavors to develop.

Step 3

Store in refrigerator. You can transfer the bologna into smaller jars, or leave in the large jar to suit your storage situation. Keeps a long time!
