   Place a medium sized iron skillet on the preheated grill with the lid closed. Once the skillet is hot, after about 2 minutes, add bacon and onion. Cook until rendered down and slightly browned. Add Mezcal. Cook for about 2 minutes. Remove bacon and set aside. Then, remove half of the fat from the skillet. Then, add the guava paste, water, and vinegar to the remaining fat in the skillet. Mix all ingredients well, until the guava dissolves. Next, add the bacon back to the skillet. Reduce the temperature to 250 degrees, and cook for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle the jam with salt and black pepper to taste. Once done transfer to a small container and allow the jam to cool completely. You can submerge the container halfway in a bowl of ice water to speed up the cooling process.
