What blessing does one recite on water in which fruits were soaked or cooked, when the fruit's flavor entered the water?
Synopsis
The Mechaber rules Shehakol, citing the Rashba's view that since fruits are normally eaten whole, their cooking water is mere perspiration. The Rosh holds it is possible that if the fruit's flavor entered the water, one blesses HaEtz. The Acharonim compromise: Shehakol l'chatchila, HaEtz b'dieved.
