Surely the recipe at this site for pepper jelly that calls for 5 POUNDS of jelly is incorrect or is it?

Even the text below the recipe says 5 POUNDS.
I am confused. Should this say 5 cups? It seems that since it states it TWICE that it make it seem more "correct." We just wrecked our FIRST time attempt at canning with this recipe.
Thanks.
canning isnt as easy as it seems
looking at the other recipes the sugar seems a bit much
but the sugar/vinegar ratio seems okay
what happened? did it not "jell" ?
dont be discouraged try a different item and go slow and follow the instructions to the letter
the instructions on the recipe seem to be written by someone who does a lot of canning and maybe didnt make all the procedures clear
it might be hepful to go to the ball website and see if they have general suggestions on jelly making
