use a food processor to chop the walnuts and cranberries if you have one- its a huge timesaver!

3/4 cup butter
3 cups white sugar
3 eggs, beaten

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease three 8x4 inch loaf pans.
Blend together butter, sugar and eggs.

To Debbie52: I'd cut the recipe in half or third (one egg) and try it for muffins. The cooking time / temp might need to be adjusted but on first try check other muffin recipes, make best guess and *write down any variations* you may use.

You can use dried crans instead of fresh.
Self-rising flour already has baking powder in the mix-you can check the package ingredients to be sure.
You can substitute oil for butter, same measurements.

The result of changes 1 and 3 will be a somewhat different bread. If I were making the recipe, I would soak the dried crans in warm water for a couple of hours and I would not substitute oil for butter.

Yes, just make sure your bread machine is big enough for the recipe. Use quick acting yeast and put the ingredients in the pan according to the manufacturers directions. I always put mine on the dough cycle and then bake it in my oven. But you can do the whole thing in your bread maker if you wish.
