Pickling the Blueberries
In a small saucepan, combine the white vinegar, sugar, and salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Add the blueberries and remove from heat. Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Grilling the Watermelon
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Cut the watermelon into thick slices, about 1 inch wide. Brush both sides with olive oil and season with black pepper. Grill the watermelon slices for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until grill marks appear and the watermelon is slightly softened.
