Cut the whole ripe purple berry blooms off with scissors and let them drop into a bucket, stems and all. Take full buckets into the kitchen. Over a bowl, grab a table fork with four tines. Pull the stem of the berry blooms through the fork tines. The ripe berries will separate into the bowl. Dispose of vacant stems. Repeat until all the berries are in the bowls and the stems are in the garbage. It will not take much time.
