<![CDATA[Abstract The wealth and abundance of Tengger's natural resources is very promising, but the local community is not productive enough and not good at utilizing their abundant natural resources, one of which is the tamarillo (terong belanda). In the beginning, the community had produced processed tamarillo in the form of syrup. However, the production of the tamarillo syrup has stopped in a few years. The reason is the problems that exist in the production and marketing process. In addition, the more critical existence of tamarillo plant due to mass logging also threatens the business productivity that is being pioneered by the community. Furthermore, the Tengger environment is also threatened by its balance. This article focuses on the productive economic empowerment of the Wanamerta Village community, Tosari Village, Tosari District, Pasuruan Regency through the use of Dutch eggplant as a base for developing small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the local community. The steps taken are (i) counseling, training, and preservation of Dutch eggplant juice, (ii) Dutch eggplant training and nursery action. Through these steps it is expected to grow awareness of independent entrepreneurship by making the potential of local natural resources as assets as well as raw materials for production. Furthermore, this effort is directed at building a culinary tourism dish that relies on local culture as well as being conservative towards nature.]]>
