Honeydew Soup: Keeping Cool

Combine sugar, water, and lavender in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and cool.

Finely grind 2 strips bacon in a blender, and coarsely chop remaining 2 strips by hand.

Strain sugar syrup into the blender and add remaining ingredients. Process until smooth. Pour mixture into a small baking dish and freeze for 4 - 6 hours.

Stir before serving and garnish with remaining chopped bacon.
