Beginner Gardening: what's wrong with the Jerusalem Cherry , 0 by donnerville

I have been growing Jerusalem Cherries for years, and this is the first time I have had this problem. The plant is 2 years old and is in a pot in full sun. Can anybody please help me to ID the cause of the damaged berries? The leaves are still very healthy. I didn't see any bugs on the plant. The berries seem to crack and then rot, and finally fall off. Is it a disease? Was it caused by irregular watering? I was traveling quite a bit in late August to early September. The plant probably wasn't watered very well when I was away. And then we got about 5" of rain a couple of weeks ago. Now about 30% of the berries on the plant have this problem :-(

Thanks.
