Run the peaches and marmalade through a food processor till chopped very fine. Add to saucepan. Add remaining ingredients and simmer, stirring occasionally, until heated through and reduced to your desired thickness.
Meanwhile, Remove filling from fridge and place a spoonful into the center of each wonton wrapper. Lightly wet half of the edges of the wrappers with water. Fold the wrapper over the filling, forming a half moon (or triangle for square wonton wrappers) and seal completely. NOTE: you can freeze the wontons at this point for OAMC).
