Wash the peaches and jalapenos thoroughly under running water. Peel and pit the peaches, then dice them into small pieces.
Slice the jalapenos lengthwise, remove the seeds for a milder heat (optional), and finely chop them.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the diced peaches, chopped jalapenos, granulated sugar, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, salt, and water.
Place the saucepan on the stove over medium heat. Stir the mixture gently to combine all the ingredients.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, reducing the heat to medium-low. Continue to cook for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peaches break down and the mixture thickens to a jam-like consistency.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
Using an immersion blender or transferring the mixture to a countertop blender, carefully blend the spread until smooth or leave it slightly chunky for texture, depending on your preference.
Let the Jalapeno Peach Spread cool completely before transferring it to a clean jar or airtight container for storage.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Serve as a spread on crackers, bread, or paired with cheese, or use as a glaze for meats like chicken or pork.
