The simplest form is apple jelly. Apples contain pectin already, so do not require the addition of it.

While recipes vary, essentially fruit and water are combined, and boiled to release the juice of the fruit. This is then filtered through damp cheese cloth or a damp jelly bag to remove the solids. The resulting clarified juice is combined with sugar (and often added pectin), and simmered to reduce it to a heavy sugar. The pectin in the juice (or the added pectin) causes the jelly to jell (or gelatinize) as it cools.
