Steps:

• Cut honeydew into small chunks that your blender or food processor can handle.
• Place all ingredients in a blender or food processor (or use an immersion blender) and puree until the only solids that remain are blueberry skins.
• Strain mixture using a mesh strainer or similar device. I generally strain the entire batch twice to get rid of the majority of the blueberry skin pieces.
• Refrigerate for at least one hour before serving; I like to chill it overnight.
• Serve "plain" as is, with a dollop of yogurt or sour cream, and/or garnish with a few whole blueberries.
• Enjoy!
