Dutch Oven Three Cherry Cobbler

This cobbler is a favorite of my Dutch Oven tasters.
The perfect ending to any camp meal, or just about
any other time.  Feeds 4 very hungry, or 8 not so
hungry dinners.
Filling:
1-12 to14 oz can of pitted bing cherries, strained
and save the juice.
1-cup sundried cherries
1-12 to 14 oz can pitted tart cherries, save juice(not
pie filling)

1/4cup cornstarch mixed with water to a thin paste
Streusel:
3/4stick cold butter cut into cubs
2cups all-purpose flour  1cup quick-cooking oats
1/4cup slivered almonds(untoasted)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Dutch oven (or any oven) baking heat (375)
Steusel: in electric mixer combine all dry ingredients
except butter mix at low speed, or hand mixer.

Slowly add a couple of butter cubes at a time until all
is used. Mix until streusel becomes crumbly, keep
cold until ready for use.

Cobbler:mix cherry juice, nectar,sugar,salt together in
a medium sauce pan on stove.

When mixture comes to boil add cornstarch liquid
