Coarsely puree the morello cherries in a food processor or with a hand blender (or finely, if desired). Then transfer all of the juice to a saucepan. Add the anise star, cinnamon stick, and mulled wine mix and bring to a boil. Immediately turn off the heat and let it steep for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then stir in the gelling sugar and rum and bring back to a boil. Simmer over low heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Test for setting. Remove the mulled wine bag, anise star, and cinnamon stick. Empty the contents into the prepared glasses. This quantity makes approximately 3 glasses. If you want more, double or triple the quantity.
