For an even smokier flavor, use a grill or smoker to roast the vegetables. Adjust the amount of sugar to your taste. Some tomatoes are naturally sweeter than others. If you don't have fresh basil, you can use 1 tablespoon of dried basil, but fresh is always best. Make sure to leave the specified headspace to ensure a proper seal during canning.
