my kitchen is not smitten

Although we still haven't sorted out how to do plain caramels, I'm so ... what's the word ... emboldened by my success with the apple cider caramels that now I want to make hamantaschen. And because we are the way we are (that is, because the Gentleman Caller has made me this way; the best snack in the world is a tablespoon of jam you made yourself in a cup of yogurt you made yourself, and who am I?), I want to make my own poppyseed filling.

Am I off my nut? I know there's a Thing now where people have worked out what sorts of things you're better off making yourself and what sorts of things you're better off just buying commercially. (Make the bread, buy the butter, right? That's the cookbook I didn't get my sister-in-law for MLKmas.) If I try to make homemade hamantaschen with homemade poppyseed filling, will I be sorry? stuck with three pounds of poppyseeds? both?
