Remove duck from fryer, season with salt and pepper, and place in simmering sauce for 15 minutes, then remove and drain slightly. Continue to reduce sauce, adding arrowroot/red wine mixture to thicken, if necessary.

Heat clarified butter in frying pan. Fry duck for a few minutes, careful not to burn. Remove duck and set aside. Add peach halves and 2 tablespoons brandy and flame, shaking pan. Add remaining brandy and turn peaches to coat with sauce.
