15 Hour Pickle taste test

Taste test result: Pickle-ish, getting there...

So, my cucumbers are no longer cucumbers - but they also aren't quite pickles.  I definitely need to find the right jar for this, and I need to play with the ingredients a bit, maybe more vinegar, and boiling more than it was.  I also should try a different cucumber, something smaller, and maybe slice it before putting it into the brine.  I might also want to chop up the garlic, and I wonder if I should do anything with the peppercorns.

Happy with my first attempt, going to let them sit for another day or so, try them again, and modify my recipe from there.

In the end, an exciting and fun experiment!
