Rub and clean quinces well with a rough towel. Cut the bumps from one end so they will sit in a pan. Place the whole quinces in the pan with the water and the half cup of sugar. Put the lid on and boil gently for an hour and a half to two hours, until the quinces are a light pink. Carefully lift the quinces out onto a plate (Maggie suggests using an egg slice) and discard the core. Chop the rest of the quince roughly and return to the juice. Measure pulp and allow one cup of sugar to one cup of pulp. Heat slowly, stirring until sugar is dissolved, then boil rapidly for 20-30 minutes or until jam gels when tested.
