Instructions:

Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the water, sugar, sliced banana, pineapple chunks, mandarin oranges, strawberries, and maraschino cherries. Stir gently until the sugar is dissolved and the fruits are evenly distributed.
Freeze Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the freezer. Allow the mixture to freeze for at least 8 hours, or until it is firm.
Serve: When ready to serve, remove the frozen fruit slush from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for about 45 minutes to soften slightly. This will make it easier to scoop and serve.

Tips:

For added flair, garnish each serving with a slice of fresh pineapple or a maraschino cherry on top.
Feel free to customize this recipe by using your favorite combination of fruits. Mangoes, kiwis, or peaches would make excellent additions or substitutions.
To make this slush even more refreshing, consider adding a splash of coconut water or pineapple juice to the mixture before freezing.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one month. Simply thaw slightly before scooping and serving.
