    We always leave our blackberries to soak in cold water overnight with a teaspoon of salt in, then the maggots are floating by morning and the berries are ready fro freezing

    You can freeze the berries anyway.
    The maggots won't survive the freezer, so they won't wriggle anymore..:eek:

    Having said that, it's probably worth taking a bit more care picking - just go for pristine looking fruit, and check the base of the berry where it was attached to the bush.

    You'll soon recognise damaged/infested fruit.
