To make pickles hot, add powdered cayanne or crushed hot peppers of any
sort. I have tried it with whole hot peppers and the pickles near the
pepper are nuclear and the rest are relatively un-impacted.
I have heard of 2 things to have a crisp pickle and have successfully tried
one of them.
The one I have tried: cut the cukes and soak in salted ice water for at
least an hour. I made my lord's mom's recipe for bread and butter pickles
this way and they were very crisp.
Untried, but vouched for: put a fresh grape leaf or two in the jar with the
pickles. I love pickled grape leaves and have always wanted to try this,
but have never had a ready source of fresh grape leaves.
Good luck!
