Halvas

I made halvas (the stove-top kind with semolina and syrup), and it's goopy. Like applesauce. I guess I shouldn't have insisted on adding all of the syrup and maybe should have just stopped when it got to the right consistency (and thrown the excess syrup out)? Or perhaps I didn't brown the semolina enough first? I added chilled syrup to semolina I had just taken off the heat, if that's any help...
