What's that red liquid they're eating with a spoon in "The Dressmaker"?

I saw The Dressmaker (Kate Winslet, 2015) last night. One of the questions I was left with was this: what was the bright orangey-red, viscous liquid that Tilly fed her mother (and, later, her mother fed her) with a soup spoon?

Do you have to be Australian to recognize it?

I have not seen the movie, but when you say Australian spoon food, I think Vegemite.

I have watched every episode of Masterchef (AU) and I don’t recall any red liquid that is uniquely Australian.

If you can tell me a approximate time in the movie this occurred I will watch. I already downloaded it. I just don’t want to scrub through the entire thing.

If it didn’t kill them my hunch is pomegranate juice.

All the while Mad Molly prattled. Tilly wiped her mother’s saucered mouth. ‘Did you enjoy that?’ Her mother replied formally, ‘Yes thank you,
