Jelly is touchy. You may have not cooked it long enough or your pectin level was incorrect. Go to your recipe and make sure your pectin to sugar ratio was correct. You can try to recook but it may or may not gel. Sometimes you get lucky. If you didnt use any pectin, that would be your problem. Peppers do not have any natural pectin to make them gel. Make sure your boil was/is hard boil (cannot stir down) and keep at the hard boil level for the correct amount of time. Dont panic and stop too soon.

Was the pepper raw? Maybe it needs to be parboiled.

I guess the pepper must have been cooked or it wouldn't be jelly, would it? Just ignore me.
