• 2 tablespoons pickling spice
• 2 cups white vinegar
• 4 whole firm cucumbers, cut into spears
• oil
• salt
• pepper

1. Use cheesecloth to make a bouquet of 2 tablespoons pickling spice; combine with vinegar in a bowl.
2. Oil and season cucumbers; grill on high 45 seconds per side. Put in vinegar and cover with plastic wrap. Let pickle 1 hour. Remove and seal in mason jars or serve immediately.

Grill the cucumbers first, locking in all that smoky, charred goodness, then pickle them immediately afterwards.
