You didn't seal the jars. The most common method is water bath canning. No matter if the recipe calls for vinegar, it still needs to be sealed. See your canning instructions for more information.
Simply, the mixture didn't get hot enough to make pickles. And simple pickling doesn't destroy all bacteria. So take the time to water seal your jars next time.
