I guess I'm old school, I would soak in salt water as indicated, rinse well, and make jam.

Considering the amount of bugs and stuff permitted in commercial food, your berries are probably still cleaner and healthier.
Ditto....

i BELIVE the wormies are actually fruit/berry fly maggots...they actually get in through the stems...
so i dont know if that help in the efforts to be rid of them, id assume youd have to treat the soil rather than the shrub itself.
