Home canned bologna:

25 lbs. fresh ground meat
1 lb. Morton’s tender quick
1 tsp. garlic powder
4 tsp. liquid smoke
½ tsp. saltpeter
¾ cup brown sugar
1 oz. coarse ground black pepper



Grind the meat twice, adding spices etc., as you grind, and mix well. Put in an enameled turkey roaster, covered, and let set in a cool place for three days. A refrigerator works fine. Grind again and pack into wide mouth pint jars to within an inch of the top. Wipe the rims clean and place a previously boiled, warm lid on the jar and screw down the ring firmly tight. Place in a pressure canner and process for 90 minutes at 10 pounds, adjusting the pressure as needed to allow for altitude. (Check your canning book for these adjustments.)

This bologna is very good and doesn’t taste like “store” bologna (which we hate). It kind of tastes like a cross between good liver sausage and corned beef. We like it sliced from the jar and fried. I hope you’ll like it, too.

Thank you for this recipe.....I would love to try it.

Does it matter what kind of meat makes up the 25 lbs?

About how many jars does this recipe make?

Can't wait to tell my DH about this one. He is going to love it I'm sure.

thanks again,

I think the best is a combo of pork and beef, but you can use any kind of meat.
you should get about 15 to 18 quarts, maybe a bit more, depends on the meat you use, and the shrinkage. but you can use deer meat, or any kind. of meat.

Where do I get saltpeter?

grocery store, in spices or canning supplies, or a drug store will order it, if they don't have it.

I thought about this. Saltpeter can be a causative for colon cancer. It would be better to can the meat and then turn it into chicken or turkey salad. The pork and beef can go into chili, stews, and soups. Saltpeter is a powerful preservative. I am going to go without the saltpeter.
