If you're looking for a refreshing, sweet and salty snack, the combination of Ritz crackers and fresh cherries certainly fits the bill.
Like many other taste sensations, the combination of cherries and Ritz crackers was discovered largely by coincidence.
One night a few weeks ago, I decided to eat a couple of the fresh cherries I purchased earlier that day at Big Y supermarket. As I bit into a cherry, I noticed the partially full sleeve of Ritz crackers a few inches away, on the kitchen counter.
Since I really enjoy eating both Ritz crackers and fresh cherries, the two items were combined for the second bite of the cherry. The mild saltiness of the crackers complements the natural sweetness of the cherries, creating a delicious taste treat that's fun to eat.
Since I first tried combining fresh cherries and Ritz crackers, I've eaten the combination several times.This naturally sweet and salty snack is highly recommended.
