Hot water bath method cooks pickles

So I just opened my first batch of pickles ever. I did a bunch of extra peppers I had in the fridge. They taste great, the only problem is, the canning method basically half-cooked my peppers. Between being soaked in boiling brine for a few minutes and then having the filled jars exposed to 15 minutes of boiling during the canning process, they went semi-soft.

I don't get it, how do I get crisp peppers when the hot water bath canning method basically cooks the jars?
