Add the wine, cider, orange juice, brandy, and maple syrup to a stock pot over medium-low heat and whisk well.

Add the cinnamon, cloves, star anise, cardamom, one sliced orange, and one sliced pear. You can also use mulling spice mix as well. If you go that route, use 1 to 2 tablespoons.

Bring to a very gentle simmer but do not let the mixture boil; otherwise, the alcohol will cook out. Stir every 10 minutes or so and simmer at low heat for one hour (or up to 3 hours).

Remove spices and mulled fruit. Add cranberries, pomegranate, and another sliced orange and pear. Let infuse for 10 to 15 minutes at low heat, then serve warm.
