One of my father's favorite restaurants in Mt Pleasant, Mi - served this for years. We have the original recipe card dating back over 30 years and I am posting it here in honor of my father - and so it is never lost.

Ingredients
  

  • 6 lbs pork chops

Marinating Sauce

  • 2 cups soy sauce
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon dark molasses
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Red Sauce

  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1 (14 ounce) bottle Heinz ketchup
  • 1 (12 ounce) bottle Heinz Chili Sauce
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon dry mustard

Instructions
 

  • Marinating Sauce:
  • Take soy sauce, water, brown sugar, molasses and salt - mix together in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
  • Let cool.
  • Put chops in a pan with bone side up.
  • Pour marinade over the pork chops and let stand overnight in refrigerator.
  • Take chops out of marinade, place in baking pan and cover tightly with foil.
  • Put in 375 degree oven and bake until tender - about 2 hours.
  • Red Sauce.
  • While chops are baking, combine all red sauce ingredients in heavy saucepan or double boiler.
  • Mix well - leaving no lumps.
  • Bring all ingredients to a slight boil.
  • After chops are tender, remove from oven and dip in red sauce.
  • Take chops after dipping and place in baking pan and bake for 30 minutes in 350 degree oven or until slightly glazed.
  • Both sauces can be reused if brought to a boil and stored in refrigerator or frozen.
  • For an extra flavor keep at room temperature until you are ready to put on a charcoal pit or grill. Have grill as high as possible from coals, not a large bed of coals is needed. Place finished chops on grill, let cook slowly, a little blacking does not hurt chops -- grilling should not take more than 15 minutes.
