Rum extract usually contains alcohol -- sometimes a lot of it. Some rum extracts are alcohol-free -- carefully check the label to see. Rum flavor usually is alcohol-free, but can be artificial tasting.

Alcohol never burns off totally during cooking. In fact, in many preparations more than half the alcohol is left in the end. And, obviously, almost 100% is left in an uncooked item like a rum ball.

If alcohol is an issue, consult an alcohol burn off chart.

Wine and beer don't taste like rum, so IMO wouldn't be a good substitute, as rum is almost always added to something for its flavor. A nonalcoholic extract, leaving it out or choosing a different recipe would probably be your best bets.

Rum extract is easily found in the supermarket. There are many non-alcoholic beers and wines on the market that can be used when either of those are called for.

But, generally speaking, the alcohol burns off while cooking, just leaving the flavor.

what can be used to replace alcohol in a recipe? I want to make some of the recipes in the book but they call for rum, and I do not want to use any alcohol, in volume.
