Is panettone worth the effort?

I've never liked this holiday bread/quasi-pastry, but must admit to a bit of parsimony. This translates to purchasing it long after the holidays (as in February when the price is half-off). So...possibly...could be...maybe I wasn't tasting it at its finest?

Plus it always had a subtle under-flavor that I totally disliked. I now think it was candied citrus peel.

Anyway, here it is October and Publix has these mini-panetonne for $1.99. It's OCTOBER!...a full five months earlier than I would normally be tasting this product. And now I find I'm quite in love with its soft texture. Still don't like that citrus peel after-taste, but that's an issue I can address.

So...the big question is: is all the work worth all the work?

back to the 2$ issue.....my niece buys them at thr dollar store 4 some few dollars, not very many dollars, for teacer gifts and definitely wrth that minimal investment. it is the citrus peel flavour that apeeels 2 me. y would 1 make them>?

i am not seeing a whoe lot of work in tese recipes...especially 4 someone who has a working right hand. if i were operational, i would definetly use the bread machine. 4 me, the texture and citrus are huge attractions. but the dollar store offerings really are good enough 4 me.
