1/2 cup dark amber maple syrup
4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) spicy brown mustard
1/4 cup apple cider
1/4 medium onion, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon ground cumin
8 center cut boneless pork loin chops, 1-inch thick
extra-virgin olive oil for drizzling

Preheat grill pan or non-stick griddle pan over medium-high heat.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Combine first 6 ingredients in a small saucepan and cook together over moderate heat for 5 minutes until sauce begins to thicken a bit.

Coat chops lightly in oil and season with salt and pepper.  Cook chops on hot grill pan 3 minutes on each side.  Baste chops liberally with sauce, cook 2 to 3 minutes more.  Baste again with sauce and transfer to hot oven to finish cooking them.  Bake 10 to 12 minutes.  YIELD:  8 servings
