How to Prepare Fermented Squash Relish [Vegan]

Put the zucchini, peppers and onion in a 1-quart (1-L) jar. Add the peppercorns, mustard seed and cloves to the jar.
Mix the salt into the water to make the brine. Fill the jar with the saltwater brine, making sure to cover the vegetables but leaving room for the weight and expansion.
Put a weight in the jar to keep everything under the brine and top the jar with a fermentation lid. Put the jar on a plate or small cookie sheet to catch any overflow.
Set the jar in a cool place, out of direct sunlight, for 8 to 14 days. You can taste the relish any time after 8 days. If it needs to ferment longer, replace the weight and fermentation lid and ferment for a few more days.
When the relish is to your liking, replace the weight and fermentation lid with a plastic storage lid. Store the relish in the refrigerator for up to 9 months.
