If you pull off a whole clump, remove individual berries from their tiny green stems. Shake the bowl to force any insects that might be hiding among the berries to the edge. While outdoors, slowly fill the bowl with water to force out any remaining bugs.
Indoors, rinse the berries in a bowl of clean, cold water 4-6 times and pour through a strainer each time. The Dyrings use a salad spinner without the lid and spin the berries under the faucet.
