Nice Heath, you have a pineapple!!
I've done this a couple of times too. Both times I just cut the top off the pineapple and stuck it in a pot of sandy/loam soil, outside on the east side of the house where it gets morning sun. Keep the soil moist with daily watering while it roots. Once it roots, it can go in a sunnier or spot, or not. If you want fruit like Heath, you probably need a sunny spot. I dropped the ball the first time and didn't give the plant enough water and it died. It's really hot here so I don't let it get exposed to the afternoon sun.
It would never work if I tried to do this indoors, where it would probably spoil, mold or mildew!
Here's a picture of my current pineapple that I put in the pot sometime in the month of May.
