Step 1, after you have picked out a pineapple you need to remove the top, to do this grab hold of the top set of leaves and twist, it should come off with a bit of fruit attached (top right). Now you need to prepare the the crown by stripping off about an inch of leaves and any adhering fruit flesh (top left).
Next you need to carefully horizontally slice small amounts away from the bottom of the crown until you see root buds appear as small dots.The bottom of the root will ultimately look like this when you are finished trimming off the excess fruit flesh (bottom picture).
After trimming and stripping, you will need to let the crown dry out for a few days, this will permit the cut end and leaf scars to heal and prevent rotting So set your pineapple aside for a few days in a dry space and I will reveal the next step in a few days.
