Not a specific recipe - but some tips.

Soak the chilies in ice water for 6 to 7 hours before pickling. Seems 
to help with cukes - stands to reason that it would with jalapenos.

Also, alum, pickling lime and grape leaves all with help keep your 
pickles crispy and crunchy. The grape leaves contain tannins which 
inhibit the enzymes that make pickles go all soft and moooshy.
