“Three out of these four beds right in front here is where I’m going to grow carrots,” Jackson said. There are onions and asparagus and rhubarb and beds of greens, but carrots are the main attraction. Jackson’s got a thriving garden at his house on the sunny side of Bell’s Flats, just past Kodiak’s Coast Guard base. You could say Dave Jackson is Kodiak’s carrot kingpin. Kodiak Island is home to a burgeoning local food movement - one that could get a whole lot bigger this summer, thanks to one gardener’s ambitious plan to plant half a million carrots across the archipelago.
Jackson grows carrots indoor and outdoors, along with other vegetables. Serve the cruffins the day they are made.Dave Jackson in his greenhouse at his home in Bell’s Flats. Gently push the tip into the top of the cruffin (find a divot or space) and pipe in 1 to 2 tablespoons of pastry cream.

Lay a sheet of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pastry cream to keep it from forming a skin and refrigerate until well chilled. Remove from the heat and strain the pastry cream through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium heatproof bowl. Switch to a whisk and whisk the pastry cream until glossy and smooth, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the pastry cream becomes very thick and begins to boil, 5 to 7 minutes. With the mixer still on low speed, very slowly add the hot mixture, beating until completely incorporated. Pour the hot milk and cream into a medium liquid measuring cup, leaving the vanilla bean pod behind in the pan. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, lower the mixer speed to low, and beat in the cornstarch.
Increase the mixer speed to medium-high and beat the egg-sugar mixture until very thick and pale yellow, about 5 minutes. Slowly add the granulated sugar, followed by the salt and vanilla bean seeds. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle, beat the egg yolks on low speed until combined. Remove from the heat, cover the pan, and set aside. Add the milk and heavy cream and heat over medium-low heat until just about to simmer. Split the vanilla bean in half, scrape the seeds out into a small dish, and put the pod in a medium, heavy-bottom saucepan. Roll each cruffin in the sugar, and transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling. Let the cruffins sit in the pans for 1 to 2 minutes, then flip them out onto the prepared sheet pan. Remove the plastic wrap from the pans and bake the cruffins until they are golden brown, 25 to 35 minutes. Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 400☏. (Cruffins can also do a slow rise in the refrigerator overnight. Step 3Ĭover the pans loosely with plastic wrap and let the dough rise at room temperature until doubled in size and it feels like a marshmallow when pressed, 2 to 3 hours. Repeat with the remaining five pieces of dough, for a total of twelve cruffins. Place the ends of the dough into one of the wells in the prepared popover pan so the ends are resting on the bottom and the top loop is sticking out slightly. Twist one side of the horseshoe over the other, making a loop. One at a time, fold each half of the dough in half with the layers fanning out, so it’s in a horseshoe shape.
Starting from a short edge, roll up the dough into a log, then cut the log in half lengthwise, so the layers of dough and filling are visible. of the granulated sugar, pressing it into the butter gently to adhere. Brush with some of the melted butter and sprinkle with 1 heaping Tbsp. Roll out the first piece until it’s as long, wide, and thin as possible, about 8 by 18 inches. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use, one at a time. Leave one on your work surface and place the remaining five on the sheet pan. Cut the croissant dough into six equal pieces. Butter the wells of two large six-cup popover pans, then generously sprinkle each well with sugar.
