Sounds like a safe bet. FWIW, I suspect that the reference to the
fact that it is "white" may suggest that white anise confits (as
opposed to red anise confits, whose sugar coating is more
caramelized; see Chiquart to references to both types and their uses)
may be what the Ur-cook-writer had in mind.
