Violette de Sollies is a the top fig in France.

"Solliès-Pont is a commune in the Var department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur"

They misspelled Sollies.

Thank you all for the links to the great recipes, I'm like Rich, just need figs!

I'll share a link to a recipe for caramelized fig ice cream.  Lovely pictures on this site.  Although there is much more there on the page, some of you may find the rest of the blog post out of the usual.  So just focus on the recipe.  If I find some storeboughts, I'll make the ice cream anyway!

Man, I need figs!
