How do I determine a variety of grape, or does it really matter?
My spouse’s coworker is offering us grapes, and I’m looking at the traditional grape jam recipe.
It lists 3 varieties (Concord, Muscadine, Scuppernong) but I’ve never dealt with grapes before and am not sure if it’s safe to proceed.
I’ve included a picture of the grapes I’d be receiving.
Thanks!

I would recommend asking about what variety this is on r/gardening or r/plantidentification
Very nice. Not muscadine or scuppernong. I would just go w/ traditional recipe.
What’s the location, OP? That might help determine a variety. The leaves look somewhat like a native North American grape, but the fruit is larger than I would anticipate. So this might be an escaped cultivar or possibly a hybrid.
My understanding is that they suggest those varieties because your seedless varieties of table grapes come out pretty bland.
Not a safety issue.
