2 large pomegranates

2 star fruits, thinly sliced
3 bottles red wine, such as Rioja
1 cup brandy or cognac
1 cup pomegranate juice, such as Pom Wonderful or grenadine
1/2 -cup sugar
2 cinnamon sticks
2 star anise
1 liter club soda, chilled

1
Spread some newspaper out on the counter because the bright red pomegranate juice can stain.
2
Cut the pomegranate in half, open it up and you'll see clusters of very juicy garnet seeds encased in a smooth off-white pulp.
3
Gently pry out the ruby kernels with your fingers or a pointed knife, removing any of the bitter membrane that may adhere.
4
Put the pomegranate seeds in a large pitcher or container and add the pear and star fruit slices.
5
Pour in the wine, brandy, and pomegranate juice.
6
Add the sugar, cinnamon, and star anise; give the mixture a good stir to combine.
7
Chill the sangria in the refrigerator for several hours or up to overnight for the flavors to come together.
8
Just before serving, top the sangria off with the club soda and mix to combine.
9
Spoon the fruits into glasses or goblets and pour in the sangria to fill.
