For the fresh version: process the first 7 ingredients in a food processor until everything is minced and resembles pickle relish. Empty mixture into a bowl, add vinegar and sugar and mix well. Re- season if necessary with more sugar or vinegar to taste. Pour into a jar and allow to sit in the refrigerator for 24 hours before serving.

If fermenting: process the first 7 ingredients in a food processor until everything is minced and resembles pickle relish. Empty mixture into a wide-mouth jar, cover and allow to sit in a warm spot for 48-72 hours, depending on how fermented you like it. After it’s ready, open and remove any surface mold, stir well. Taste and season with more salt and/or vinegar if desired. Keep sealed and refrigerated for up to 2 months.
