I've wintered over some pepper plants before.  By the end of winter they
looked very bad, missing half or more of it's leaves and what it had did
not
look very healthy.  But putting those 2-3 foot pepper plants back out side
and
they sprang to life.  I had usable peppers in under a month.  Not many the
first month but these two year old plants all outproduced  by "new" peppers
planted that year.  So go for it.  What have you got to lose but a square
or two.
Best of luck.
