The instructions below is for remaking jelly 1 quart of jelly. They are using different proportions than you used. You might try this recipe and see if it works.
If you still have problems send me your phone # and we can chat and see if we can figure out why it didn't set up. Most of the commercial pectin products if followed correctly and ingredients measure correctly will set up. It is when people get creative and reduce sugar, cook too slowly or add the pectin at the wrong time.
Let me know if it works. Thanks for using Ask Extension.
