When it is in small quantities for a tart or pie, I have successfully taken a fruit juice and reduced it over med-high heat until it has the consistency of brandy.
Have a look in the cake decorating section of your supermarket. You should be able to buy imitation rum, brandy, etc here. It gives the flavor but not the alcohol content.
