Preparation

1. 1.
   In a large pot, bring the beef broth to a boil. Add the moose nose, onion, carrots, celery, bay leaves, thyme, rosemary, and apple cider vinegar. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 3-4 hours, or until the moose nose is tender.
2. 2.
   Remove the moose nose from the pot and allow it to cool slightly. Strain the broth and discard the vegetables and herbs.
3. 3.
   Once the moose nose is cool enough to handle, remove any excess fat and cartilage. Slice the nose into thin, bite-sized pieces.
4. 4.
   In a separate bowl, dissolve the gelatin in 1 cup (240ml) of the strained broth. Stir until the gelatin is fully dissolved.
5. 5.
   Arrange the sliced moose nose in a mold or individual serving dishes. Pour the gelatin mixture over the moose nose, ensuring it is fully covered.

   Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the gelatin is set.

   To serve, unmold the jellied moose nose onto a plate or serve directly from the individual dishes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
