In a medium bowl, mix chopped peaches with chili peppers, sugar, and lemon juice. Allow mixture to sit for an hour.

Place mixture in a heavy-bottomed pan on the stovetop, on medium-high heat.

Cook for 25-30 minutes at a rolling boil until the glaze thickens.

You may want to smash the mixture with a potato masher to help break down the peaches. You can test the readiness of the glaze by spooning it out onto a plate and if the mixture doesn’t run and has thickened, you are ready to remove it from the heat.
