Garlic-Roasted Duckling

• 1 (4 1/2- to 5-pound) dressed duckling
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 celery leaves
• 1 onion, halved
• 1 1/2 cups water
• 1/2 cup Sauterne or other dry white wine
• 2 tablespoons catsup
• 1 tablespoon flour
• 3 tablespoons water
• 1/2 cup sliced pimiento-stuffed olives
• Pickled peaches (optional)

1. Remove giblets and neck from duckling; reserve for other uses. Rinse duckling with cold water; pat dry. Prick fatty areas of duckling with a fork at intervals. (Do not prick breast.) Lift wingtips up and over back, tucking under duckling securely. Combine next 4 ingredients. Rub over surface and in cavity of duckling. Cover, and refrigerate overnight.
2. Brush bird with melted butter; sprinkle with 1/4 cup flour. Fold neck skin under, and place duckling, breast side up, on a rack in a roasting pan. Stuff cavity with celery leaves and onion. Close cavity with skewers. Place under broiler 2 minutes or until lightly browned.
3. Combine 1 1/2 cups water, wine, and catsup, stirring well. Pour over duckling in roasting pan. Cover with foil, and bake at 375u0b0 for 1 1/2 hours or until drumsticks and thighs are easy to move. Remove from oven; discard celery leaves and onion. Transfer duckling to serving platter; keep warm.
4. Skim fat from pan drippings. Discard fat, and pour pan drippings into a small saucepan; set aside. Combine 1 tablespoon flour and 3 tablespoons water, mixing to form a smooth paste; gradually add to pan drippings, stirring until smooth. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened and bubbly. Stir in olives. Pour sauce over duckling. Garnish with pickled peaches, if desired.
