In a saucepan combine all sauce ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, 1 hour or until sauce is slightly thickened, stirring occasionally. Process in a blender or food processor until smooth. Chill in refrigerator until ready to use or up to 3 weeks. Let the chops sit at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes before grilling. Separate and set aside about half of the sauce for basting the chops (the remaining sauce will be warmed for service).

Brush each chop on both sides with some sauce and grill over direct medium heat until cooked to desired doneness, 8 to 10 minutes for medium rare, turning and basting with the sauce once. Warm the remaining sauce and serve with the chops.
