Maple-Sauced Chops

1 cup ketchup
1 cup maple-flavored syrup
3/4 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon instant beef bouillon granules
1 bay leaf
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon grated gingerroot, or 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
1 teaspoon dried basil, crushed
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
4 pork loin chops, cut 1-1/2 inches thick

In saucepan, combine all ingredients except chops. Bring to boiling; reduce heat and simmer uncovered 30 minutes or until reduced to 2 cups, stirring occasionally. Grill chops over MEDIUM coals 20 minutes. Turn chops; grill 10 to 15 minutes more, brushing sauce over chops occasionally. To keep sauce warm, place it on grill.--Barbara Hope, New Haven, Conn.
