Question:
Hello. If a non-Jew boils dried cranberries in water to make fruit juice (provided that a Shomer Shabbos Jew lit the fire), is there an issue of ma’gah akum or stam yenam? Thank you.
Answer:
Hi,
The issues of stam yanom etc. only apply to grapes, because they are made into wine. They do not apply to cranberries.
Best wishes
