So I followed this recipe perfectly and it called for regular lemon which is what my grandmother always used when we would make jams/jellies when I was little. Upon reading this sub (I probably should've done this before starting) I realized that fresh lemons are a no-no. I heated it to 210, poured into sterilized more-than-warm jars, and had a boiling waterbath to seal. The seals are fantastic, and it has no bubbles. Because of the fresh lemon should I just treat them as a refrigerated marmalade instead of shelf stable? Thank you!

It looks like the recipe you used was intended as a freezer/ refrigerator marmalade so I would follow that in this case. If you want to make shelf stable marmalade I highly recommend the NCHFP recipe (https://nchfp.uga.edu/how/make-jam-jelly/marmalades/orange-marmalade/#gsc.tab=0), it comes out delicious!
