re: Storing jalapenos until pickling time

freezing should be fine, they should maintain most of their crunch

I don't think so. I've frozen bell peppers before and they come out like mush when defrosted. Absolutely no crispness, especially if wanting to use for pickling where you want them brined, but crispy when bit into.

ETA: To test it out, put a couple in the freezer and then thaw them to see how the come out.
